Rita's Block - Gold Medal Winner, 2018 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
Rita’s Block is an exotic field blend grown at the Alegria Vineyards in the Russian River Valley with 18 different varietals creating this complex wine. This special wine is tended to by friends and family throughout the entire year, leading up to hand harvesting by this group. After an early morning harvest starting at 3AM on September 22nd, the grapes were quickly destemmed and crushed to preserve their flavors and aromas while still cold from the overnight chill.
